charge of the kind that has heen brought

meut sermon in Macon. The Rev. DR.. Smith,
President OF the Wesleyan Female College of
Of t It ron rom lhe Rev. Dr. Guthrie HawInorne
had Il committee of his own church appointed
and was yihdicated. Then after filling pas
torates in Montgomery and Rich mond he was
called to Atlanta. Last year he preached Il
sermon which the Rev. DR.. Tucker, editor of
the Christian Inder, charged was substantially
appropriated from "Studies In the Life OF
christ" by Fairband. Hawthorne, rcsorting to
his usual tactics, had committed appointed.
The committee demanded q rctraction OF
the charge. Tucker asked for the manuscript
OF the sermon. After months delay 1t was
produced. Tucker went over " anu 1ound
twenty-five passages taken without credit
from Fairband. or course he refused to make
Il retraclion, and Hawthorne has since been
his open and wed enemy. But this is not
all. Some weeks ago Hawthorne attended
the Southern Baptist Convention at Louis
vile, Ky. Tho Rev. Joseph Cook was there at
that time delivering lectures. Shortly after
Hawthorne return to Atlanta he preached
fine sermon, and one of the congregation re-
marked to a friend:
"Why, heard all that from the Rev. Joseph
"Well," replied the other. "Howthorne was
there when Cook was. He doubtless heard
him."
Now that these things are coming to light.
there Is naturally great excitement. Literary
men. Journalists and the public side against
Hawthorne, but the members Of the plagia-
rizer's congregation declare that not single
point has been made against him.
The deadly parallel column business, how.
ever. speaks for Itself. 1t has even been re-
marked that Anxious Enquirer" WAS mis-
taken In giving Hawthorne credit for orisl-

pears that even this crude sentence was stolen
bodily from the Rev. Sam Jones.

A Travesty Oh Justice.
F[trnl2,.'S Friend.

In the last issue of this paper we had occa-
sion TO speak Of the difficulty with which
crime is punished In South iarOlina. 1t has
been universally conceded that no white man
could be convicted Of murder under the pre-
sent system that the only way to prevent
iury-iiXing is by allowing the State greater
humber OF peremptOry challenges. AS the
law now stands the prosecution soon eN-
hnuStS Its challenges, and the defence easily
gets on the jury one or more friends of Its
Client. The result Is hung jury. But a
climax has been reached. 4 South Carolina
Jury, recognizing that popular sentiment de-
manded punishment for crime, has at last
convicted of murder in the first degree-l
white man? No!-a negro female child ii
years old What n mockery Let Justice
hide her face and weep for very shame! Up
hold crime? ., no! But what asubject upon
which to inflict capital punishment! If the
girl is old enough TO know what she has done,
Send her TO State prison for life. But what Il
travesty of justice IL would lie to hang Il child
of II years, and allow To go unpublished such
crimes rs the Abbevlle murder, the Edge
field triple butchcry, and Others equally
ntrocIons. VIII South Carolina permit it?
For her own honor, we hope not. Every true
citizen desires that the law be respected and
TINT crime be made OdiOns: but snch judi
cal murder would be blot on South Caro-
